Harper Lee's New Novel--Read First Chapter

Here it is. Worth the read if for no other reason that it might save you paying the $25.00 the first edition hardbound might cost. It's really hard to follow up TKAM. Right now, I think it lacks that charm that made you want to keep reading TKAM. I don't care about these people, yet. And there is one sentence that will blow you away and upset you, and it comes out of nowhere.
I have heard the book was not really edited. That is believable. It reads like a young person's first attempt at a novel. Man, I don't mean to be so critical. I'm just going to wait before I get around to reading it.
